Right Said Fred versus Wrong-Sayer Scott
Richard Fairbrass has told the world that he is too sexy for his shirt. Scott Lively has told the world that gays are too nasty for, well, just about anything. This week, they will apparently both do a little turn on the cat walk, debating each other at the prestigious Oxford Union:
But first, a performance of the seven-hour-long (if performed in full) Angels In America? Is it just me, or is this the weirdest night of LGBT-ness imaginable?!
Oh, and also—Scott "...
Audio: Focus on the Family prez says homosexuality 'not a super sin' (*but you still shouldn't 'condone what they are doing')
This is bound to tick off the crowd that already thinks Focus on the Family has gone soft:
This clip speaks to the tough position this organization is in. The fact of the matter is that Focus on the Family (and its CitizenLink action arm) still opposes every LGBT rights policy—and aggressively so! The organization still supports gay "change," still pushes anti-LGBT figures, still pushes its programs that try to strip all inclusive curriculum from schools, still runs state policy councils that...
Frank Schubert comments on the sister he legally strips of rights
NOM Political Director and Prop 8 mastermind Frank Schubert has made quite a living off of pushing discrimination for certain people. Certain people like, for instance, his lesbian sister who, according to recent reports, is raising children with her domestic partner.
Annie Marie Schubert is her name, and she is currently building up a run for District Attorney of Sacramento County. But even though her brother has dedicated his professional life to keeping her legally separated from her partne...
Scott Lively 'not real pleased with' Pastor Giglio
One of the most proudly anti-gay people in the world, Scott Lively, says onetime inaugural preacher should have run headfirst into the controversy regarding his anti-gay comments. Because, ya know—this is "the moral issue of the Endtimes" and all:
Right, Scott. Because what, if the Pastor stood up and was all like, "Yup, gays are terrible," those of us who have strong support for the pro-equality President Obama would have just been all like, "Well at least that's c...

NOM's Colton Brugger behind French 'let the people vote' site
On Friday, a "Laissez-Nous Voter" site (Let Us Vote) popped up. The site is geared toward telling the French people that same-gender couple's civil marriage right should go before a public referendum:
And who, would you guess, is behind this French site? Why none other than Texan Colton Brugger, the OPUSFidelis tech guy who does all of the National Organization For Marriage's web work:
So that explains why Brian Brown (and possibly other NOM staffers) are o...
A glimpse inside the G-A-Y mailbag
From a fan, clearly:
Please, dear reader—show some respect. It's the Lord's day.

Brian Brown decries White House's 'New World Order'; yes, really
[Pastor Gilgio's] withdrawal under political pressure demonstrates the New World Order at the White House: traditional Christianity must be excluded; the wrath of gay advocates is more important than national unity or the principle of tolerance and inclusiveness.
—National Organization For Marriage Brian Brown, carelessly throwing around "New World Order" terminology (that I'm not sure he understands) to say that our inclusive, pro-equality President is the one destroying national unity, even...
As I predicted, NOM's president Brian Brown is in France
For two days now, I've been saying that National Organization For Marriage president Brian Brown is most likely in France…
...hoping to shape an entirely different country in the way that he's been unable to shape the U.S. Now, confirmation:
Dear Marriage Supporter,
A massive rebellion against gay marriage is brewing in France. I'm here now, and I'll report to you first hand from the rally planned for Sunday.
The French Rebellion! [NOM]
French rebellions? Les Trendy, Brian.

At least Matt Barber's honest: social conservatives didn't want Giglio to preach at inaugural in first place
This is the general view that was taking shape in the hours after Giglio was first announced. It's political opportunism coupled with the constant drive to seize victimhood that has led Tony Perkins, Bryan Fischer, Albert Mohler, and others to take the new approach.
